Bobcat E145 Large Excavator Digging Into Rubble On Construction Site

Construction

With Bobcat excavators on the construction site, you have the power, maneuverability and versatility to adapt to numerous jobs. Compact excavators provide a finely tuned input response for precision movements and productive power for digging footings or excavating basements. Large excavators offer a bigger solution, yet are sized to move from jobsite to jobsite. They deliver powerful hydraulic arm and bucket forces ideal for both commercial and residential construction, as well as challenging roadway and bridge projects.

Multiple tail swing options provide plenty of maneuverability to do trenching and digging in tight-fitting jobsites. The angle blade enables quick backfilling when digging utility trenches.
